MUCH DISCUSSION.

Masonic Mutual BeneAt Association.
A petition to call special meeting of the
association to rescind the vote of the last an
nual meeting is open for signatures at Hin
mans real estate Office, So Church street. It
is said that it has ffty-ive signatures al
ready. This matter is yet exciting great
comment end discussion about town among
members insured in the association, many of
whom are not satisfied with the changes
made at the recent annual meeting of the as
citation and think there ought to be some
thing else done to secure equity to all in the
association. 1t seems to be difficult matter
to get at to ''size it up" just right if the
widely different views of members are con-
sidered. One who was talking Saturday on
the subject, who has given the subject a
good deal of close thinking, said that the
So, 900 class was what was making the trou-
BILE; that the amount should be limited to
$4,000, with graded assessments according to
age, and not So, 900 as it was left at the meet

The Rev. DR.. Kleeberg paid a glowing
tribute to the late Miss Carrie Adelaide
Phelps in the course OF his lecture at the
Court street synagogue Saturday morning.
Miss Phelps for the past seven years was a
member of the choir of the synagogue and
continued to sing there until her health gave
way. DR.. Kleeberg said: "There may be
singers in our city or country who, through
the volume of their voices, may have excelled
her, but few could compare with her in
sweetness and charm and depth of feeling
The tenderest sentiments were expressed in
her voice. 1t was as if her whole soul went
forth into her song. She did not sing with
her chest or throat, as vocalists express it;
she sang with her soul, her heart and because
her strains came from the heart they went to
the heart. And obi how often were we car
ried away by her charming melodies What
I particularly always admired in her was the
caimness with which she poured forth her
sweetest songs, not even stirring the form
from which the melodies issued. Her youth
full days were diligently spent in the cultiva-
ton of her talents and her rare gifts were
devoted to the praise of the Lord.
And now, at the beginning of such bright
career. it is suddenly brought to a close. In
vain DO we ask, wherefore all THIS trouble,
all this painstakingG Thursday her earthly
remains were consigned to the CARVE. 1t was
a touching and impressive scene. The funeral
services at the house of worship were OF a
solemn character, attended by hundreds of her
friends and admirers. But by far more touch
ing and impressive was her own requiem,
which was sung when already at deaths door.
For months she was Frustrated on.her couch
of sickness. Four short weeks ago, by super
human efforts she left her home and went to her
church and sang, and sang her own funeral
dirge. She returned to her couch, which
soon after became her death bed. The wor-
shippers little dreamed that it was her last
effort, her funeral song. No one knows
what pain the effort cost her, or what feel
ings prompted her. Was it flial duty that
actuated her? She was the only support and
comfort OF an aged mother. AS according
to our religion, the pious of all nations will
participate in eternal Tfe,' SO we can rest as
sured that the sweet singer, the dutiful
daughter, will share that eternal bliss which
is reserved for those who have faithfully
performed their duty here on earth"
Yesterday morning beautiful tribute was
paid regarding the deceased at St. Paul's
church by the rector, Rev. Mr.. Lines, in re-
marks made just previous to the sermon. The
same floral tributes remained which were in
the church at the time of the funeral, the
legend 'Forever" stretched across the choir
gallery front and above it the harp with the
broken string.

THE CONVERSION OF ST. PAUL.
An Eloquent Sermon by One of tn
Dominican Fathers.

An Eloquent Sermon by One of the
Dominican Fathers.
There was large congregation present at
the last mass in st. Mary's church yesterday
morning who listened with much interest
and benefit to an eloquent sermon on the
Conversion of st. Paul" delivered by Rev.
Father Higgins. After recitiAg in brief the
scriptura1 narrative of the event Father Hig-
gins dwelt on the changes wrought in the
character of st: Paul by his wonderful spir-
itual experience and the beautiful revelations
of Christian truth of which he was the in
spired instrumentality. Endowed with ex-
traordinary intellectual gifts the light of di-
vine truth which kindled in his soul when
he answered the personal appeals of the
Saviour whom he had prosecuted permeated
all his being and iIlumined the acred writ
in1s which have stood for all succeedin G
ages as the highest ideals of Christian teach
ing. The universal influence of St.
Paul, due to his profound learn
ing and his inspired teaching,
has been pre-eminent in the preservation
and diffusion of divine truth, and the APos-
tie of the Gentiles will be the inspiration and
the light of Christian teaching during all the
coming ages OF the worlds existence. The
preacher drew lessons of obedience and COZ
fermity to the divine truth from the unyield-
ing faith Of the Apostle, and urged the duty
that rested on believers to walk from out the
shadows in the broad light of Christian faith
and teaching The sermon was beautiful
exposition of the faith that is lit from the
lamp of divine knowledge, and was delivered
with an impressive earnestness that left pro-
found conviction in the minds of his hearers.
At the offertory the young Irish baritone,
Mr.. M. J. Murphy. who is in the city in the
interest of w. 81. Powers Ivy Leaf company,
sang the'Pro Peccatis" from Rossini's Stabat
Mater with much effect. Mr.. Murphy has
voice rich in depth of tone and breadth of
compass, and showed considerable skill
in its habdling. His shading of the pas
sages was exquisite, and seemed to communi-
cate to his hearers some of the pathetic
sadness that thrilled the divine mother as
she stood beneath the cross. Mr.. Murphy's
singing was rare treat to the congregation.
Miss Mary Kivlan and Miss Mary Sullivan
were both in excellent voice and sang the
solos of the mass with pleasing effect. The
shoir as whole is fairly good one and at
lines do some very good rendering of the
sacred music.

Hartford Has Yes a Toll Bridge.

Hartford Has Vet Toll Bridge.
BY many New Haveners who were anxious
that the old "roll bridge" should go it was
supposed that this city was the only city in
che State which had barnacle hanging to ii
in the shape of toll bridge. After years of
effort and struggle and opposition the old Tom
Iinson toll bridge was bought by the city and
town few weeks ago and made free bridge.
But there is yet one city in the State that has a
tclI bridge tackled on to its skirts, or rather
a. outskirts. That city is Hartford, the city
which Is generally pointed to by residents of
the Nutmeg State as the synonym for enter
prise despite its faults. Hartford has toll

AHANDsOmE BUILDING.

The mission Chapel of Calvary Bap-
tist Church Howard Avenue
Nearly Completed-A Revival Inter
est.
The mission chapel of the Calvary Baptist
church, which has been in course of erection,
is now nearing completion. The sides are up
and the roof has already been put on, 80 that
the workmen are at present working on the
inside of the building. This edifce will grace
the corner of Howard avenue and Rosette
street, and with its modern architecture will
be a handsome addition to that section of
the city. The interior is being finished with
hard wood, and its embellishments will be
such as to make it most attractive place of
worship. It is expected that the mission will
be ready for occupancy by the FIRST of March.
By the large and growing attendance at the
Calvary Baptist church, it was deemed expe-
dent that this mission should be erected; the
church wanted to extend its good work to
another part of the city where lived many of
its members, who with others will rejoice in
the fact that they are to have place of
| worship nearer by. By the energetic efforts
of the pastor, Rev Mr. Samson, and some
! others of the church, it was decided to build
the chapel, and the site was accordingly OBJ
tanned and the work begun. The building
| and equipment will cost about $1,000. It
will be opened for divine service about the
| first of next month.
A REVIVAL INTEREST.
Special meetings will be held at the Calva-
| ty Baptist church every evening during this
week excepting Wednesday and Saturday
| evenings. There has been such a growing
| interest in these meetings that they have
been kept up ever since the first week of
this month. There have been a number of
conversions, showing that the outcome has
| been exceedingly fruitful. There seems to be
| special interest shown by the young people
| and they help make full attendance. On
Wednesday evening will take place the adj
| iourned annual meeting of the church.

MRS. GEORGE ". GOODsELL.
Her Death Yesterday Afternoon-The
Wife soon Follows Her husband
An Unusually Sad Bereavement.
Mrs. Geor,e w. Goodsell died at her resi-
dence at 6 High street yesterday afternoon at
1:30 O'Clock, in the sixty-third year of her
age. There was little over days difference
in the time of her and her husbands death.
He passed away Friday night. 1t was
very sad case. Mrs Goodsell had been i'll
of pneumonia but six days, while her hus-
bands illness had been three days longer.
They both had pneumonia. Mrs. Goodsell
had been ailing for some little while, part of
the time being troubled with rheumatism.
When her husband was taken i'll she attend
ed to him at his bedside, but week ago she
was taken to her bed. By Tuesday the
symptoms had developed to such stage
that pneumonia set in. DIR. Walter Judson
was the attending physician and did all in
his power to save them. By Wednesday
Mrs Goodsell's condition had become criti
cal, and on the next day there were no hopes
of her recovery. She died with no apparent
pain or.visible suffering;she was unconscious,
neither recognizing nor knowing of the
grief-stricken ones who stood about her bed.
The deceased ones were in the forty fifth
year of their marriage. The funeral of both
will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2:3O
o'clock from their late residence on High
3D.
